A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult”: |

Myself and my mate (Wayne - Southern Leyther) went to use the gents toilets immediately after the game before boarding the coach home. Upon seeing the queue I suggested we used the one in the main bar which we assumed would be far less congested.
As we approached the bar there was a group of Whitehaven supporters, congregated round the entrance verbally objecting to some Leigh Supporters chanting 'Going Down, Going Down' whilst they were leaving the terraces.
The response at this stage was nothing more than a few Whitehaven fans engaging in a bit of the usual name calling, a few 'cheat' remarks in return and a couple of expletives thrown in for good measure.
This all began to fizzle out as the Leigh supportes passed them and the Whitehaven fans turned away and made their way into the bar with us behind them.
What was absolutely disgusting was 2 Whitehaven stewards on the door then waving the Whitehaven fans back out of the bar and one of the stewards urging the group of fans.
'What are you all waiting for, go and f ing confront them.. F ing go on,go for it !!!! '
When we came out of the bar we saw the 2 stewards physically,forcefully shoving and manhandling 2 Leigh supporters right out of the ground.
I usually have a 13 year old girl with me watching Leigh everywhere, who thankfully didn't fancy such a long journey to whitehaven on this occasion. She won't be attending The Rec for the next few years at least either, that is for sure.
I will be contacting Whitehaven myself to formally complain later on today.'"
tipster ste ran my daughter to the match yesterday[cheers ste]
And her exact words were " it was all handbags at 3 paces" and the haven fans were upset over leigh fans chanting, going down,storm in a teacup

| So it was ok for them to chant the same thing to us last season?
Smacks of double standards, Rule no 1 for Haven fans, don't dish out what you can't eat yourselves!!!
One thing is for sure, I can guarantee to the Haven fans is that on their next visit to the LSV, I can guarantee they will be treated with utter respect and will not feel threatened or intimidated by any of our Stewards, and furthermore will be welcomed.

| Quote: frankb "Should any Haven fans read this who is that idiot in the wheel chair who accused a Leigh fan of punching him ? He is the cause of this ridiculous incident and that equally barmy steward who is physchotic ?
The Haven club must know who they are and I cannot believe both of these idiots have not tried to cause trouble before. Their absolutely braindead behaviour is sad and a serious problem for their club.
A couple of first class nutcases.
I am not making this up and I am not a young hothead either quite frankly it reminds me of the incident when a Haven fan was supposedly assaulted by a Leigh fan wielding a baseball bat at a Leigh game at Hilton Park.
Yeh try getting into any sporting event with a baseball bat presumably hidden in your pocket.
The guy in the wheel chair is called Andy, he knocks about with a bloke called Lou. People think hes not really a cripple but Lou cannot see it.

| well how very disapointing this all is, i do beleive we are meant to be the family game, well anybody reading this thread would think differently, me and my dad stood behind the goal in both halfs, and had a real good chat with this one particular haven fan. At the end of the game we shook hands and went on our way home, its a shame that everybody can not behave insuch a way. Did not see the incident after game as i was in the toilet, but what is wrong with a bit of friendly rival banter and having a laugh, yes we are all passionate but lets keep it sensible and good spirited, seems like there was contreversy both on and off the field.

Yes james i can back your story up i still cannot belive the stewards were encouraging the haven fans to go for it.
I for one will never give whitehaven the time of day if they are allowing thugs (sorry stewards) to control there stadium.The big tall bald guy was the worst of the two,he's the one that had a few words for you james when you asked him why he was wearing a hi viz vest.
As for the big guy in the wheelchair after the game we were making our way to the toilets when he drove his way into the queue shouting you bunch of (cheating barstewards) and other words i dont wish to repeat.i was glad to get back on the coach.

| I seem to remember when I was a lad of twelve going to Whitehaven on Monks's coach there were 17 of us there that day, and we made it big in the Journal the following week because of the abuse we suffered from their fans I remember one middle aged woman referring to me and my two mates as scabby eyed fish. how strange is that well not very strange at all I suppose when you look around at some of the specimens they have for fans, it appears then that not much has changed in the last 55 years in that neck of the woods.
